Green Roof Research in Vancouver, British Columbia

The "Centre", formally known as the Centre for the Advancement of Green Roof Technology has officially changed its name to the Centre for Architectural Ecology - Collaborations in Green Roofs and Living Walls.

The Centre is evaluating the function and performance of extensive green roofs and living walls in the rainforest climate of coastal B.C.
